To search by keyword in title: Wait for the entire page to load, and then use the "Find in
Page" option from the Edit menu of your web browser. Increasingly
papers on sonic crystals are becoming mixed in with those on photonic
crystals, so try searching on the terms sonic, phononic, or elastic to
catch these. To enlarge font: Use the Increase Font Size
option in the View menu of your browser.
Most recent references: I try to update
the
references at the beginning of each month. History: The list began as a bibliography
compiled by Henry
Everitt around 1994. To this, I combined an additional bibliography
from Eli Yablonovitch. From that point on the list was updated monthly,
using online bibliographic search engines from a number of sources, as
well as contributions from authors. At one point, an attempt was made
to retype the entries from the different sources with a uniform style.
This was abandoned in about 1998, as it became too labor intensive as
the list size continued to grow exponentially, and in addition the
retyping introduced too many typographical errors. The current
procedure is to copy and paste the text directly from the source into
the HTML file: It ain't pretty, but it's more accurate. Most of the
remaining errors in the list either arise from errors in the search
engines themselves, or are still uncaught errors from the typographical
transcription days. Starting in 2002, I no longer ordered the listings
by exact alphabetical order by first author, as this has become too
time consuming, due to the continued exponential growth of the database
(see figure). All articles whose first author begins with "A" will be
grouped with all others whose first author begins with "A", but no
further alphabetizing within that group will be done. This should not
hamper you much if you use the Find in Page search procedure, outlined
above. There is an advantage in that the newest articles will now be at
the top of their alphabetical section. In September of 2007 I have
added references to metamaterials retroactively to 2000, the year this
term first appeared in print.
In April of 2008 I made the last update and decided that a combination
of exponential growth made continued updates infeasible and competition
from Google Scholar made the whole thing obsolete.

Computer Codes

We have recently made available our code for analysis of
Photonic-Crystal Fibers by use of a Source-Model Technique (SMT). The
(SMTP) package can be freely downloaded at:
http://www.ee.technion.ac.il/people/leviatan/
The code is written in MATLAB, and has a graphical user interface. It
allows mode-determination in dielectric waveguides that have a
piecewise-homogeneous, yet otherwise arbitrary, cross-section.

OPAL (Optical Program ALgorithm): A Computational
Tool
For Photonics. OPAL calculates the transfer matrix for a given system
once the permittivityand permeability have been specified as
functions of position and frequency. OPAL can
be used to calculate photonic band structure,
transmission and reflection coefficients, and
dispersion surfaces. Software available at small charge to cover
postage, from Pendry Group, Imperial College of Science [http://www.sst.ph.ic.ac.uk/photonics/].

MIT Photonic-Bands Package: A free downloadable
program
for computing the photonic band structures (dispersion relations) and
electromagnetic modes of periodic dielectric structures, and is
applicable both to photonic crystals (photonic band-gap materials) and
a wide range of other optical problems. It was developed by Steven G.
Johnson at MIT in the Joannopoulos Ab Initio Physics group [http://ab-initio.mit.edu/mpb/].
